Vallejo's Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 'major hiring mode'

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom still has job openings for the 2013 season and on Saturday, the park holds an open call audition for its new show -- Cirque Dreams Splashtastic, park officials announced.

The auditions will be held at Vallejo's Dance Unlimited studios, 510 Georgia St., they said.

"We are encouraging applicants to apply online early to fill available positions throughout the park," director of administration and human resources Kimberly Beiner said. "This is a great place for teens and young adults looking for a first time job, or for seasoned workers -- even seniors -- interested in working in a fun, high-energy atmosphere."

The new aquatic production opens this summer. It features marine mammals and a company of acrobats, aerialists and Cirque Dreams acts. The park needs "a wide range of performers with special or unusual skills to complement the show -- from dancers and character performers to unique circus-like acts, like stilt walkers, acrobats, contortionists and divers," according to the announcement.
